When do you feel most alive? Is it something that you can do right now? Is it something you can do later today or tonight?
If the answer to this question makes you stop and think, good.
If the answer to this question comes to you quickly, will you act on it?
There are always reasons to postpone doing something we have been thinking of doing. These diminish our sense of aliveness. Once you realize this, do you sense any shift in willingness? Do you reset priorities to take things off your list or move things up?
How many times do we stand in the way of our own happiness? Do you stop yourself from doing things because you are afraid of what others will think?
So ask yourself again. If you set aside concerns about what others might think, or things that require money that you simply don't have, what would you like to do today?
There are passing thoughts about what you would like to do, and there are recurring thoughts about what you would like to do. The recurring thoughts are the ones that deserve your attention.
What can you possibly do today that would make you feel more alive?
